Shopping Considerations

The Size of Your Room

Measure both the size of your space and the recliner itself. Check out our measuring buying guide below for tips on worry free furniture delivery!

Make sure you measure the recliner while fully reclined

You'll need anywhere between 1 foot to 3 feet of space from the wall. It varies, so ask your salesperson.

Types of Recliners

Comfort

Standard Three Way or Two Position Recliner

If you're one who wants both the look and feel of casual comfort, than the Standard recliner is for you.
These chairs are typically affordable and extremely comfortable. These also can come with many of the features
listed above.

Style

High Leg Recliner

If you're looking for a more stylish option, then a High Leg Recliner may be for you. They are typically more expensive,
but you get a wide variety of styles, from transitional to contemporary. Furthermore most high leg recliners have a push back mechanism,
meaning no visible handle for a cleaner look.
